MicroRNA-182 Involved in Memory Formation

January 30, 2013

Scripps Research Institute Scientists Uncover a Previously Unknown Mechanism of Memory Formation JUPITER, FL, January 30, 2013 – It takes a lot to make a memory. New proteins have to be synthesized, neuron structures altered. While some of these memory-building mechanisms are known, many are not. Some recent studies have indicated that a unique group [...]

microRNA-210 – New Hope for Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries

January 28, 2013

ROSEMONT, Ill., Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Currently there is no effective treatment used in clinical practice for patients with an injured spinal cord.  However, a group of orthopaedic scientists have recently discovered that the administration of microRNA-210 could be an effective treatment for an injured spinal cord by promoting regeneration following injury. Previously, microRNA-210 [...]

ChIPBase: decoding the transcriptional regulation of microRNA and lncRNA genes from ChIP-Seq data

November 28, 2012

microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and represent two classes of important non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes. Although these non-coding RNAs have been implicated in organismal development and in various human diseases, surprisingly little is known about their transcriptional regulation. Recent advances in chromatin immunoprecipitation with next-generation DNA sequencing (ChIP-Seq) have provided methods of detecting [...]

MicroRNAs in plants: Regulation of the regulator

November 8, 2012

A phosphate switch to fine-tune the protein production in the cells: Fast-Forward Genetics Identifies Plant CPL Phosphatases as Regulators of miRNA Processing Factor HYL1   MicroRNAs are essential regulators of the genetic program in multicellular organisms. Because of their potent effects, the production of these small regulators has itself to be tightly controlled. That is [...]

Call for Papers: MiRNAs and Thyroid Cancer

October 31, 2012

The International Journal of Endocrinology is looking for contributions in the field of miRNAs & thyroid cancer. Both, original research articles as well as review articles that explore the influence of microRNAs in the development and progression of thyroid tumors will be considered. In addition, the editors are interested in articles that attempt to define [...]

The Role of MicroRNA ‘Sponges’

October 30, 2012

The research and field of microRNA (miRNA) is relatively young in molecular biology. Researchers are only beginning to ascertain the essential functional impact that miRNA serve in tissue development and disease progression. For example, miRNA can act as both oncogenic ‘oncomirs’ or as tumor-suppressor genes in cancer biology. Amazingly, those same miRNA genes can also [...]

miREC: Database of miRNAs involved in endometrial cancer

September 19, 2012

The miREC database (miRNAs involved in Endometrial Cancer) combines published data about miRNAs and genes deregulated in endometrial cancer, as well as target-regulator relationships between these genes and miRNAs. All information has been extracted from published literature and entries are supplemented by reference citations. The miREC database was launched in February 2011  by researchers at [...]

3rd International Symposium on Cancer, microRNAs, and other non-coding RNAs

September 10, 2012

Very last minute – but if you are near London and don’t have any plans for Wednesday this might be right event for you: The third international symposium on Cancer, microRNAs and other non-coding RNAs will highlight the function and regulation of non-coding RNAs during oncogenesis. The symposium will cover a wide range of themes, [...]
